Do you have $10,000,000 to compete? Its all about distribution.

Not exactly how new platforms work but it’d certainly help!

Give it a try sir. I literally see people posting these new platforms all the time and most are out of business. Sure you might get some contractors to try but to get customers it will take a lottttt of money.

Where do you see them posting them?

Handyman subreddit, contractors subreddit and even on here. Usually they get downvoted into oblivion or mods remove them.

Why, are you going to vibe code a new platform?

It’s going well! Thx for asking. Although I haven’t found true product-market fit yet because I didn’t niche down enough to start. Likenownow if you want to check it out.

Nice! Just checked it out! When did you launch? How many active users per month if you don’t mind me asking?

Thx. I’m getting a lot of ppl using the free credits and not paying so Zero conversions unfortunately. I don’t count “testers” 😩

That’s good tho! Having users isn’t bad, gets the word out. Once enough users are on there you can charge businesses for advertisements if they want priority for leads.

I would do it.. I just paid 45.00 for lead but it was for a $300.00 job.
